Amigurumi Heart Earrings – A Free Crochet Pattern to Wear Love!

These small crochet heart earrings are a quick project that uses very little yarn. Each heart is crocheted in two small sections, joined together, stuffed lightly, and finished with an earring hook.

The pattern uses basic amigurumi stitches and is suitable for crocheters who are comfortable with single crochet, increases, and decreases.

Materials

• Cotton yarn, preferably a thin yarn suitable for small amigurumi
• 2.0 mm crochet hook
• A small amount of polyester fiberfill
• 2 earring hooks
• 2 jump rings
• Small jewelry pliers
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors
• Stitch marker (optional)

Abbreviations

US crochet terms are used throughout the pattern.

• MR – Magic ring
• sc – Single crochet
• inc – Increase (2 sc in the same stitch)
• dec – Decrease (sc 2 stitches together)
• sl st – Slip stitch
• st(s) – Stitch(es)
• ch – Chain

Before You Start

• Use a stitch marker to keep track of the beginning of each round.
• Keep your stitches fairly tight so the stuffing does not show through the fabric.
• Stuff the heart gradually rather than adding all the stuffing at once.
• Do not overstuff the heart, as this can change its shape.

Pattern Notes

• The heart is worked in continuous rounds. Do not join at the end of each round unless the pattern specifically says to.
• Gauge is not essential for this small project, but keep your stitches fairly tight so the stuffing stays inside the heart.

Crochet Pattern – Amigurumi Heart

Make two hearts for one pair of earrings.

Part 1: Upper Curves

Make 2 per heart.

With your chosen yarn:

Round 1: 6 sc in MR (6)
Round 2: inc in each st (12)
Round 3: sc around (12)

For the first curve, fasten off and leave a yarn tail.

For the second curve, do not fasten off.

Part 2: Join and Shape the Heart

Continue with the second curve on your hook.

Round 4: Ch 1. Insert your hook into the first curve and make 1 sc. Continue with 11 sc around the first curve, then make 12 sc around the second curve (24).

Round 5: (2 sc, dec) × 6 (18)
Round 6: (1 sc, dec) × 6 (12)

Lightly stuff the heart, making sure the stuffing is evenly distributed.

Round 7: dec × 6 (6)

Fasten off. Weave the yarn tail through the front loops of the remaining stitches and pull tight to close. Secure and hide the yarn tail.

Turning the Hearts into Earrings

1. Use small jewelry pliers to open one jump ring.
2. Attach the jump ring to the top center of the crocheted heart.
3. Place the earring hook onto the same jump ring.
4. Close the jump ring securely with the pliers.
5. Repeat the same steps for the second heart.

Make sure the jump ring is fully closed before wearing the earrings.

Customization Ideas

• Use different yarn colors to make matching or contrasting pairs.
• Add a small bead or charm below the heart.
• Use a slightly finer yarn for a smaller heart.
• Add a small bow for a different look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can beginners make these earrings?

Yes. The pattern uses single crochet, increases, and decreases. Basic amigurumi experience is helpful, especially when joining the two upper curves.

Are the earrings heavy to wear?

The crocheted hearts use only a small amount of yarn and fiberfill, so they are lightweight. The final weight will depend on the yarn and earring hardware you use.

Can I use different yarn?

Yes. Thinner yarn works well for small earrings. If you use thicker yarn, the hearts will be larger and may feel heavier.
